Israeli Forces Act Against Latest Palestinian Terror Wave
(Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security) Prof. Hillel Frisch - In response to the recent wave of indiscriminate Palestinian terrorism, Israeli actions targeting terrorists and their supporters has seen a significant reduction in terror attacks. In the "Break the Wave" campaign, the IDF and undercover security forces have launched multiple raids to stop the violence, especially in the Jenin region of northern Samaria, which has led to a 90% decrease in terrorism. Israel's security forces again learned that they could not rely on PA security forces, especially in the Jenin area, to stop Palestinian violence. In April, after the new campaign began, Israel made 1,128 arrests, compared with 448 in February. The writer is professor of political and Middle East studies at Bar-Ilan University.
